I would like to know from different people what is the rarest duck or goose that you have killed or seen in the wild in the state?

My personal one would be a tie between seeing my father kill a red breasted goose in Dover in 1995 and me seeing a mandarin drake at Dunbar Cave in Clarksville around the same year.

A side note on the goose, when I retrieved the goose my father killed I noticed it had a wing clip on it with between 6-10 numbers but no way of calling or writing about it. Anyone ever seen anything like this??

they are pretty thick at T.O. Fuller.. idk why.. buddy that is a ranger there said they showed up a few years ago and have just stayed.. sarted with 12-15 birds and now he will see over 100 at certain times of the year..

I know this thread is pretty old, but none of the threads in the TN forum are really live and kicking haha. Shot a couple White Wing Scoters with my hunting group last year in SE TN. Also had an acquaintance kill three Squaw last year as well.

Shot a fully plumed blue wing teal on the last weekend of the season a few years ago. Also shot some green wings that same day. I was gonna get the blue wing mounted with the green wing. Ended up that the dog ripped the blue wing's head off. I was not to happy.

We have an Old Squall hen and some kind of goose that is mostly white but has the red circle around the eye and markings from an Egyptian Goose. We have Canvasback pair. Red head pair. Mallard Black Duck mix drake. All are mounted. My dad had a Jack Minor band as well.
